Demolition has started on the Mammoth Building in northwest Detroit, which has been vacant for 25 years. Originally opened in 1949 as a department store, it has faced years of legal delays. A recent court ruling allowed demolition to proceed, with the city covering the $2.6 million cost and planning to sue the property owner for reimbursement. Future development plans for the site remain unclear.

I'm excited to share that a long-abandoned auto factory in Detroit is being transformed into housing. The Fisher Body Plant 21, built in 1919, is set to become apartments, loft-style homes, and commercial space. After years of vacancy since its closure in 1993, the City of Detroit acquired the property in 2000. The development, proposed in 2022, will cost over $150 million and is expected to be completed by summer 2027. I'm looking forward to seeing this historic site revitalized!

Abandoned Auto Factory Being Transformed into Housing in Detroit A long-vacant former auto factory in Detroit is undergoing a massive renovation, transforming Fisher Body Plant 21 into apartments, loft-style homes and commercial space The six-story, 600,000 square foot former plant was built in 1919, and the facility was used for manufacturing vehicle bodies. In 1984, General Motors, who had purchased the Fisher Body company, dissolved their Fisher Body Division. The building was acquired by a paint company and was eventually abandoned in 1993, after which time it sat vacant for decades. The City of Detroit acquired the property in 2000 The development was proposed in 2022, and is expected to cost over $150 million. Dubbed “Fisher 21 Lofts”, the development is anticipated to be completed in the summer of 2027

Speaker 0: Please, please, please. Thank you all. Take your seats, please. It is, I gotta say, it feels like
Speaker 1: a great homecoming to be
Speaker 0: here in Lima today. I
Speaker 2: thank you for joining
Speaker 0: us today.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Now I I gotta say my my chief of staff, who's a great guy, he told me, thank you. Offer a few words of appreciation. So I I I could probably thank half the people in this room, and I'm so thrilled to be with you this evening. And there are a few by name that I wanna call out. So first of all, and I'm not even gonna try to pronounce your last name, I never do, but Alex Steve, great chair of the Ohio team at
Speaker 2: the U of K. Thank you all for everything we do.
Speaker 1: I've I've gotta thank, and this is, guys, you should be glad I asked about this. I thought, because it says here, Senator Tony Schrader. But, I know Tony and he's not a lonely politician, he's actually the guy who operates I didn't know that the president would make me his vice presidential running mate until literally the morning of the GOP convention. And if you walk back in time, you remember what happened. So the Saturday before the GOP convention, I I think, what would have been one of the great tragedies in American history, not just a tragedy for him personally.
And I and I really do believe, I'm a person of faith, I imagine most of you are too. I believe the hand of God prevented America from experiencing great natural disasters. The morning of the convention, the morning he announces me to be his nominee, he calls me at around 11:45 and I'm not kidding you, I don't answer the phone. And I I don't know what had happened. We had just landed in Milwaukee.
We've got three little kids. You know, it was a hot day. We were trying to get through all the security to get to our hotel room. I don't know what happened. So I called back fifteen minutes later and he answers the phone and he says, Jamie, I'm sitting there and we have a phone call with the foreign leader, I won't mention who, and it's a tough phone call.
There are some some tough issues that we have to work through with this foreign leader. He asked me to come sit behind him at the resident desk so that if I need to say anything, I can just speak directly into the speaker phone. And it's early in the administration, so there's but I really learned it seeing him interact with board leaders, with congressional leaders, and just doing the job of the president of The United States is, what makes the president so successful is he has the best instincts about people than anybody that I've ever seen in my life. And I think if you think about everything that comes across the president's desk, mean, just on, I guess this is yesterday, on on Monday alone, the president of The United States, of course, we were trying to figure out what we were doing with the Israel Iran situation. Of course, we had just launched the wildly successful attack that destroyed the Iranian nuclear facility.
Speaker 2: Really
Speaker 1: is the most important generational tax reform that we've had in this country in thirty years, and also provides billions of dollars to replenish the southern border funding that encourages us, empowers us to kick out
Speaker 2: the illegal immigrants and stop the
Speaker 0: flow of illegal immigrants in North America.
Speaker 1: And and that is what I think makes him an effective president, is what makes him an effective leader for the American people. And I will say, I'm obviously extremely biased, but a hundred and thirty days into this term, we have got a lot to brag on from the Trump administration.
Speaker 2: Me
Speaker 1: run just a few through a few of the ways in which the Trump administration has been wildly successful. Let me start with the thing that is, of course, in the news. And what the president said going back ten years, you can look at the campaign in 2015 and 02/2016, he said it consistently to our national security interests. You don't want the worst people in the world to have a nuclear weapon. So what did the president do?
For sixty days, he negotiated aggressively to encourage that Iranian regime to give up those weapons peacefully. And by the way, Number one, you articulate a clear American interest, and that's, in this case, that Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. Number two, you try to aggressively, diplomatically solve that problem. And number three, when you and wage numbers coming out, you know, I'll I'll come into the White House and I'll say, what you know, this happened out five times, where every seems like every economist and every financial journalist in the world says that Donald Trump's policies is roaring in a way that it is not in a very very long time.
Speaker 2: And that's the next generation religion. And
Speaker 1: I'll bring it back to instincts because when the president came into office, he said, frankly what he's been saying for thirty years, we have got to stop allowing foreign companies to take advantage and foreign countries to take advantage of The United States Of America. Why why in God's name would we allow cheap, bring in this crap, if you try to expose the American worker to an economic unfairness, if you don't force your own countries to deal with, we are gonna slap a big fat terror on what you bring into this country. We're gonna penalize them for for once.
Speaker 0: Of Trump administration,
Speaker 1: between 95 to 99%, I would have said woah woah. I believe the president is very serious about this and I believe the president is very effective, but there is no way that we're gonna have illegal border crossings down that much and I'm happy to report
Speaker 2: That's the big assessment for the major federal immigration. And
Speaker 1: I was in the senate when the democrats were trying to say that the thing that we had to do was pass was a little skeptical than anybody. And we had a lot of great candidates running that race. The president was skeptical that anybody could beat Sherrod Brown. But I think what we showed him in the Ohio GOP is that while we had a reputation for a very long time as a purple This party is what makes it possible for us to run good candidates and win elections in the future. And I just wanna say from the bottom of my heart, this feels like a homecoming because it is, because I wouldn't be here.
I wouldn't be the vice president of The United States
Speaker 2: interest. That's really important.
Speaker 1: But because when I see that wage growth is the highest it's been for working people in sixty years, Working and middle class people, the highest wage growth we've seen in this country for sixty years. When I see those inflation numbers keep on coming in below expectation, month after month, those are statistics. And those are numbers that of who told me that she care of kids, she hadn't anticipated. And because grocery prices were going up so much under the Biden administration that she was struggling financially in a way that she never had in her entire life. Grandkids eat toast.
The third way that this country had failed her is because the education system, where she just wanted to send her grandkids to learn reading, writing, and arithmetic, she was terrified that they were falling behind, that they were learning, a National Republican Party that is fighting successfully We are trying to create the kind of country where the American dream is alive and well. We're off to a good start. Thank you for all you've done to all of this.

Speaker 0: Well, I wanna thank you very much. This is a beautiful place. I've been here many times going to high school, not so far away. Good a good place, also a military academy. Not quite of this distinction, but it was a lot of fun for me.
And I just wanna say hello cadets. And on behalf of our entire nation, let me begin by saying congratulations to the West Point class of 2025. You are winners, every single one of you. Thank you. And now we want you to relax, and I'm supposed to say at ease, but you're already at ease.
You're at ease because you've made a great choice in what you're doing. Your choices in life have been really amazing. So this is a celebration and let's have a little fun. I want to thank your highly respected superintendent, General Stephen Gillen. And he is really something.
I got to know him backstage with his beautiful family and his reputation. His wife is just incredible. His reputation is unbelievable. And thank you very much. And your daughter is a winner also, just like everybody out there.
A real winner. Thank you. Thank you. I also wanna thank your commandant general RJ Garcia, secretary of the army Dan Driscoll, army chief of staff, general Randy George, senator Ashley Moody, representatives, Steve Womack, Bill Heisinger, Pat Ryan, Mark Green, Heath Self, acting US Attorney Alina Habber, and very much just all of the friends. We have a lot of friends in the audience today, and I just want to thank them all for being here.
We have a tremendous amount of my friends. They wanted to come up and they wanted to watch this ceremony, and they wanted to watch you much more so than me. So I just want to thank so many people here. Over the past four years, an extraordinary group of professors, teachers, coaches, leaders, Our warriors have transformed this class of cadets into an exceptional group of scholars and soldiers. And so let's give the entire group, the entire West Point faculty, the staff for their incredible love of you and outstanding devotion to the corps.
Let's give them a little hand. And importantly, we can't forget all of those people beaming with pride. Look at them in the audience. They're proud. They're in the stands.
So thank your parents, your grandparents, and family members who made this all possible for you. Thank you. And I think they must have done something right based on what I'm looking at. America loves our military moms and dads. Nearly one third of the cadets graduating today are themselves the children of veterans.
So to everyone with us this morning who served America in uniform, no matter your age, please stand so we can salute your service. We'd like to see who you are. Congratulations. Great job. Every cadet on the field before me should savor this morning because this is a day that you will never ever forget.
In a few moments, you'll become graduates of the most elite and storied military academy in human history, and you will become officers in the greatest and most powerful army the world has ever known. And I know because I rebuilt that army, and I rebuilt the military. And we rebuilt it like nobody has ever rebuilt it before in my first term. Your experience here at West Point has been anything but easy, but you do not come to the US Military Academy for the word easy. You came for excellence.
You came for duty. You came to serve your country, and you came to show yourselves, your family, and the world that you are among the smartest, toughest, strongest, most lethal warriors ever to walk on this planet. Looking out at all of you today, I can proudly say mission accomplished. Great job. But now you have to go on.
You have to forget that because now you have another. It's a sad thing, isn't it? You know, you can't rest on your laurels no matter what. You just have to keep going. You take it.
You take a little day off and you go on to the rest because you have to have victory after victory after victory, and that's what you're gonna have as you receive your commissions as second lieutenants. Each of you continues down the same hallowed path, walked by titans and legends of US military lore, giants like Ulysses s Grant, John Blackjack Pershing, Dwight David Eisenhower, the one and only Douglas MacArthur, old blood and guts George Patton, and Storman Norman Schwarzkopf. Oh, great. So many more. They and countless other patriots before you have walked out of these halls and straight into history.
And today, you officially join those immortal heroes in a proud ranks of the long gray line. You know that term, so beautiful. The long gray line. Among the 1,000 cadets graduating today, 26 of you wear the prestigious star wreath signifying the highest level of academic achievement. Please stand up, 26.
Let's see if somebody stands who shouldn't be standing. Congratulations. That's a big honor. This class includes an incredible four Rhodes Scholars. Stand up, please.
Four. Wow. That's tied for the most of any West Point class since 1959. That's great for congratulations. Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.
I wanna bring them right to the Oval Office. I don't wanna have them go too far away from me. Eight cadets here today took on the challenge of designing their own hypersonic rocket. Oh, we can use you. We're building them right now.
You know, we we had ours stolen. We had we are the designer of it. We had it stolen during the Obama administration. They stole You know, who stole it? The Russians stole it.
Something bad happened. But we're now we're the designer of it. We're now building them and lots of them. And earlier this year, they launched it into space, setting a world record for amateur rocketry. Can't get you in there fast enough.
This class excelled not only mentally, but also physically last January when more than 1,000 cadets volunteered for an 18 and a half mile march on a freezing winter night, cadet Chris Verdugo completed the task in two hours and thirty minutes flat, smashing the international record for the competition by thirteen minutes. Where is he? Where is he? Come up here. Come up here, Chris.
Get up here, Chris. Wow. Come here. That's by thirteen minutes. Come here, Chris.
I wanna see this guy. Hey, Saunders. Come here. Come here. It's been a long five years, but I couldn't have done it with any of these guys.
Love you guys all. Thank you. That's great. Keep it going, Chris. That really is the definition of army strong, isn't it?
International. International. This class includes 513 graduates who completed Air Assault School, seventy who completed Airborne School, eight who made it through the ultra elite Army Diver School, among the most difficult and grueling programs anywhere on earth. That includes the first two women in West Point history to complete diver school cadets Megan Cooper and Clara Sabu. Where are you?
Stand up. Where are they? Uh-huh. Wow. Great job.
That is not easy. Congratulations, Megan, Clara. That's a job well done. Fantastic. Thank you very much.
Some of you achieved a different kind of distinction here at the Academy, including seven century men who completed one hundred hours of marching for disciplinary oh, no, infractions. No. Don't tell me I'm doing this. Oh, I'm so sorry. Would you like to stand up?
I don't know. I think I saw Chris standing up. Chris, what what's going on here? But you had one good, one not so good. Right, Chris?
Can't believe Chris is standing up. But we want everyone to leave here today, Chris. So you're gonna be okay because I'm gonna do something with a clean slate. So in keeping with tradition, I hereby pardon all cadets on restriction for minor conduct offenses effective immediately. So you're all okay.
You're all okay. The class of 2025 is a lot to be proud of, including your first rate athletes and athletics. You are something. I've been watching too. I watch.
I love the sports stuff. What you've done is pretty amazing. Last year, for the first time ever, Army Lacrosse became the number one ranked men's lacrosse team in the entire country. Those of you on the team, stand. That's a big honor.
Stand. Great. That's a tough sport too. That's number one in the country. Your sophomore year, Army football beat Navy twenty seventeen.
And the next year, you did it again beating Navy seventeen to 11 and dominating Air Force twenty three to three. But this year, the Black Knights fought your way into the top 20 nationally and racked up your longest winning streak since 1949 with the help of graduating quarterback cadet Bryson Daley, or as you call him, Captain America. Captain America. Stand up, Bryson. Where is Bryson?
We gotta get him up here. Right? Come on, Bryson. Come on. Man, oh, man.
I heard I heard he's some well, I came to a game and he was I said, yeah, he can get into the NFL, can he? But he chose this life. And you know what? I think he made a good choice. Come on up here, Bryson.
Come on up. Wow. Go army football. Shout out to hogs, h four. Can't wait to graduate.
Love you guys. I just tapped his shoulders like I hit a piece of steel. That's in good shape. There's a reason, you know, there's always a reason for success. Thank you, Bryson.
At a time when other top college quarterbacks were thinking about going pro, Bryson's mind was on something else. As he told an interviewer earlier this year, I'm focused on my career as an infantry officer. That's what he wants to do. So Bryson, you did the right thing and that's service at its finest. Thanks, Bryson.
That's amazing. He's an amazing guy with an amazing team. Each of you on the field today is among the most talented members of your generation. You could have done anything you wanted. You could have gone anywhere.
You could have gone to any school. This is one of the hardest schools to get into. And writing your own ticket to top jobs on Wall Street or Silicon Valley wouldn't be bad, but I think what you're doing is better. Instead of sports teams and spreadsheets and software, you chose a life of service, very important service, instead of stock options. And I do that stuff, it's sort of boring.
Honestly, compared to what you're doing, it's real boring. You chose honor and you chose sacrifice. And instead of business suits and dress shoes, you chose muddy boots and fatigues, keeping yourself in shape. Because West Point cadets don't just have the brightest minds, you also have the bravest hearts and the noblest souls, your amazing people. I could not be more proud to serve you as your commander in chief, and our country is doing well.
We've turned it around. Very quickly, we've turned it around. I just got back from The Middle East, and I was at, as you know, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE. And I will tell you, they said, all three leaders, great leaders of those three nations, they all said the same thing. The United States Of America is hotter now than we've ever seen it, and a year ago, it was as cold as it gets, and it's true.
It's true. We have the hottest country in the world, and the whole world is talking about it. That's an honor for all of us. I cannot wait to see the glory that is still ahead, however, for the West Point class of 2025, and we're gonna help you a lot because we're gonna give you a nation as good or better than it ever was. That's what I promise you.
All the victories that you've had together on these grounds will soon pale in comparison to the momentous deeds that you'll perform on the mission you're accepting today. And as future leader of America's army, and we have that army geared up, we have ordered you know, we just want $1,000,000,000,000 military budget, general. Do you know that? 1,000,000,000,000. Some people say, could you cut it back?
I said, I'm not cutting 10¢. There's another thing we can cut. We can cut plenty of others. Right, Dan? We can cut plenty of other things, and you have a good man in Dan too, general.
Think you can find that. It's a very different warfare out there today. Now, they've introduced a thing called drone. A drone is a little bit different. It makes you have to go back and learn a whole new form warfare, and you're gonna do it better than anybody else.
There won't be anybody close. Generation after generation, the men and women of the army have done whatever it takes to defend our flag, pouring out their blood onto the fields of battle all over the world. And all over the world, you're respected like nobody is respected. Our soldiers have sprinted through storms of bullets, clouds of shrapnel, slog through miles of dirt and oceans of sand, scale towering cliffs of jagged rock. And time and time again, the American soldiers charged into the fires of hell and sent the devil racing in full retreat.
No task has ever been too tough for America's army. And now that two hundred and fifty year legacy of glory and triumph belongs to you, the 1,000 newest officers of the greatest fighting force in the history of the world. And that's what you are, and that's what you're being thought of again. You are the first West Point graduates of the golden age of America. This is the golden age, I tell you.
Promise. We're in a new age. This is the golden age. And you are going to lead the army to summits of greatness that has never reached before, and you see that. You see what's happening.
You see what's going on in the world. Each of you is entering the officer corps at a defining moment in the army's history. For at least two decades, political leaders from both parties have dragged our military into missions. It was never meant to be. It wasn't meant to be.
People would say, why are we doing this? Why are we wasting our time, money, and souls in some case? They sent our warriors on nation building crusades to nations that wanted nothing to do with us, led by leaders that didn't have a clue in distant lands while abusing our soldiers with absurd ideological experiments here and at home. All of that's ended. You know that?
All of it's ended. It's ended strongly, ended. They're not even allowed to think about it anymore. They subjected the armed forces to all manner of social projects and political causes while leaving our borders undefended and depleting our arsenals to fight other countries' wars. We fought for other countries' borders, but we didn't fight for our own border, but now we do like we have never fought before by the way.
But under the Trump administration, those days are over. We're getting rid of the distractions and we're focusing our military on its core mission, crushing America's adversaries, killing America's enemies, and defending our great American flag like it has never been defended before. The job of the US Armed Forces is not to host drag shows to transform foreign cultures, but to spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun. The military's job is to dominate any foe and annihilate any threat to America anywhere, any time, and any place. A big part of that job is to be respected again, and you are, as of right now, respected more than any army anywhere in the world, and that's happening.
And I can tell you, you are respected like nobody can believe. As president, I am laser focused on our core national interests. My preference will always be to make peace and to seek partnership even with countries where our differences may be profound. As you know, we're working on a lot of things right now. When I left office four years ago, we had no wars.
We had no problems. We had nothing but success. We had the most incredible economy, the greatest single greatest economy for a president in history. I think we're gonna beat it this time by a lot, if you wanna know the truth. But we had something going on very special.
But if The United States or its allies are ever threatened or attacked, the army will obliterate our opponents with overwhelming strength and devastating force. That's why my administration has begun a colossal buildup of the United States Armed Forces, a buildup like we've never had before, peace through strength. You know the term. I've used it a lot. Because as much as you wanna fight, I'd rather do it without having to fight.
I just wanna look at them and have them fold, and that's happening. That's happening. And I've approved a $1,000,000,000,000 investment, and that will be, again, the largest ever in the history of our country. And we are buying you new airplanes, brand new beautiful planes, redesigned planes, brand new planes, totally stealth planes. I hope they're stealth.
I don't know. That whole stealth thing, I'm sort of wondering. You mean if we shape a wing this way, they don't see it, but the other way they see it, I'm not so sure. But that's what they tell me. We have the best tanks anywhere in the world.
We're gonna start shipbuilding again. We're gonna start ship we used to build a ship a day. Now we don't build them anymore. We had a lot of people that didn't know much about getting things built, but that's all I've done in my life is build. We're gonna have the best missiles.
We already do drones and much much more. And earlier this week, I think you'll like this, I announced that we are officially building all in America, made in America, designed in America. We're the only ones that could do it because we're the only ones with the great technology. We're building the Golden Dome missile defense shield to protect our homeland and to protect West Point from attack, and it will be completed before I leave office. And, you know, you wouldn't think this, but our enemies are very unhappy about it.
You've been hearing, you've been reading. Why are they doing that? Why? Well, we're doing it because we wanna be around for a long time. That's why we're doing it.
We're also restoring the fundamental principle that a central purpose of our military is to protect our own borders from invasion. Our country was invaded for the last four years, and they've allowed people to come into our country that shouldn't be that they shouldn't be here. Criminals walk in, no vetting, no checking, no nothing. Where are they coming from? And they were taking people out of prisons, they were taking gang members, they were taking the mentally insane and allowing them to come in and we're getting them out of our country.
We have no choice. We're getting them out and bringing them back where they came from. I have no choice and it's not easy. It's not easy. But hopefully, the courts will allow us to continue.
You know, we had the greatest election victory. This was November 5 was we won the popular vote by millions of votes. We won all seven swing states. We won everything. We won 2,750 districts against 505.
Two thousand seven 50 against 505. We had a great mandate and it gives us the right to do what we wanna do to make our country great again, and that's what we're going to do. And on day one, I deployed our military to the southern border. And since that day, we've reduced the number of illegal border crossings where there used to be hundreds of thousands of people coming into our country a day. We had nobody come in in the last week and a half.
We were at 99.999%. Ninety nine point nine nine nine, think of that. That was with the help of our military. We had one person come in. One.
You know why? He got very sick. We brought him through to have him brought to hospital. One person. And for that, please don't hold me responsible, but that's okay.
They did the right thing. Gone are the days where defending every nation but our own was the primary thought. We are putting America First. We have to put America First. We have to rebuild and defend our nation.
And very shortly, you're gonna see a nation better than it's ever been. And you see that with the trade. The years we've been ripped off by every nation in the world on trade, we've been ripped off at the NATO level. We've been ripped off like no country has ever been ripped off, but they don't rip us off anymore. They're not gonna rip us off anymore.
And you're seeing it. You have to watch what we're doing in trade. I know it's not your primary thing, but it's quite important in all fairness. But watch, you'll see what's going on. Been reading about it over the last few days.
We're making deals with other nations that were not even nobody thought it would be even possible. And the reason is very simple, they respect us again. They're respecting our country again. That's what you want. In everything we do, we are bringing common sense back to America.
It's all about common sense. We can say we're liberal, we're conservative. The new word is progressive. They don't like using the word liberal anymore. That's why I call them liberal.
But but, whatever you are, you know, most importantly, you have to have common sense because most of it's general, most of it's about common sense when you get right down to it. And we have a lot of people with a lot of lot of very smart people, but they have to have common sense. And we've liberated our troops from divisive and demeaning political trainings. There will be no more critical race theory or transgender for everybody forced onto our brave men and women in uniform or on anybody else for that matter in this country. And we will not have men playing in women's sports, if that's okay.
I mean, wouldn't wanna have to tackle, as an example, Bryson as a man. But I don't think a lot of women wanna tackle him. I don't think so. How crazy is it? Men playing in women's sports.
How crazy is it? So ridiculous. So demeaning. So demeaning to women. And it's over.
That's over. We've ended it. And promotions and appointments will not be based on politics or identity. They'll be based on merit. We won that case in the Supreme Court of the United States.
We're allowed to go back to a system of merit. We're a merit based country again. Today, morale in the armed forces is soaring to the highest levels in many decades after years of recruiting shortfalls. And we had years and years of recruiting shortfalls. And just last year was the worst of all, the last year of the Biden administration.
We couldn't get anybody to join our military. We couldn't get anybody to join our police or firefighters. We couldn't get anybody to join anything. And right now, just less than a year later, we just set a brand new peacetime recruiting record. The most most people joined and we are brimming.
In fact, be careful. There's somebody gonna try and take your job. Be careful. You better be good. We are brimming with confidence and we're brimming with people.
We had the most best recruiting month that we've had in memory. Nobody remembers anything like it. And that's all because they have spirit now. They have spirit. They have a spirit for our country.
And now everybody wants to be doing what you're doing. Think of that, Phil. It's really a great honor, I will say. And I'm pleased to report that by next week, the army is expected to surpass its recruiting targets for the entire year, something that hasn't happened in twenty eight years where we've had that. So that's pretty good.
And it's nice to know that you're doing something that everybody wants to do. Isn't it? Really nice. Wasn't I hated to hear that. During the campaign, was hearing about that they couldn't get people to enlist, but now we're getting people.
And it's sad because we're telling so many people, I'm sorry we can't do it. My administration is doing everything possible to forge the most powerful military ever built. But ultimately, the task of keeping America strong and safe in the years ahead is going to belong to you. Among you are the lieutenants, majors, colonels, and generals who lead the army for the next ten, twenty, thirty, and even forty years. So as commander in chief, let me offer a few words of advice as you begin your army careers.
And I thought I'd do this, and I can make this to a civilian audience or to a military audience. It's pretty much the same. And I did this recently at Ohio State, and they really liked it. I gave them a little advice as to what I see for what you wanna do and some tips. And first of all and you've already done it.
Different from civilians, they're making their decision right now. You've already made your decision. I love your decision. You have to do what you love. You have to do what you love.
If you don't love it, you'll never be successful at it. At it. And you've done this, and you really many of you in the audience, many of you that are graduating, you come from military backgrounds or you love the military. It's what you wanna do. It's what you wanna talk about.
One thing I see about people that love the military, that's all they wanna talk about. I'll be out to dinner and generals if they if they love their job. Usually, the only good ones are the ones that wanna talk about it all the time. But if they talk, that's what they wanna talk about. I rarely, really, very rarely see somebody who's successful that doesn't love what he or she does.
You have to love what you do. In your case, the military is what you chose. And I'll tell you what, you cannot go wrong. You're gonna see it too. You're gonna love it more and more with time.
You know, I work all the time. That's all I do is I work. Whether it's politically or before that, I did I was a very good businessman, in case you haven't heard, really good. But I was good because I loved it. I loved it.
I learned from my father a little bit. My father was a happy guy, and all he did was work. He worked Saturdays, Sundays. He'd work all the time, and he was a happy guy. He just loved life.
And I learned that. I say, you know, it makes him happy. I've seen other people that never work and they're not happy. You gotta love it, otherwise, you won't be successful. In the army, there are a lot of different paths you can take.
So follow your instincts and make sure that you take the path that you love, that you're doing something that you love within your military. You will be happier and the army will be far stronger for it. Second is to think big. Always think big. If you're going to do something, you might as well think big, do it big because it's just as tough and sometimes it's a lot easier thinking big than doing a small task that's more difficult.
One of your greatest graduates, General Eisenhower, used to say, whenever I run into a problem that I can't solve, I always like to make it bigger to solve it and solve more of it. If you're going to solve a problem, it might as well be a big problem as opposed to a small problem that lots of people can take advantage of and solve. So you can achieve something really amazing, think big. Third though, you gotta do this. Brain power you have to have.
Potential you have to have. But to be really successful, you're always going to have to work hard. An example is a great athlete, Gary Player, great golfer. He wasn't as big as the other men that were playing against him, great, big, strong guys. Gary was a smaller guy.
I don't wanna say too small. He's a friend of mine. He gets a little angry at people because he hits the ball just as far. He said, I hit the ball further than them. Why am I small?
But he worked very, very hard. Exercise. He was always he was well ahead of his time. He never stopped. He won a 68 golf tournaments.
He won 18 majors, nine regular and nine on the senior tour. Eighteen with a 68. That's the most tournaments internationally, the most tournaments anybody's ever won. But he made a statement years ago, and I heard it. I heard it.
He's the first one. I think I've heard it a couple of times since, but he was the first. He said, it's funny. The harder I work, the luckier I get. And think of that, the harder I work, the luckier I get.
And he worked hard, and you're working hard. And the harder you work, the luckier you're gonna get. Fourth is, don't lose your momentum. Momentum is an amazing thing. Keep it going.
I tell a story sometimes about a man who was a great, great real estate man. He was a man who was admired for real estate all over the world, actually, but all over the country. He built Levittowns. He started as a man who built one house, then he built two, then he built five, then he built 20, then he built a thousand, then he built 5,000 a year, and he got very big, very big. He was great at what he did.
You see him all over the country, still Levittowns. This was a long time ago, but he was the first of the really, really big homebuilders. And he became very rich, became a very rich man. And then he decided to sell. He was offered a lot of money by a big conglomerate, Gulf and Western.
Big conglomerate. They didn't do real estate. They didn't know anything about it, but they saw the money he was making. They wanted to take it to a public company. And they gave him a lot of money, tremendous amount of money, more money than he ever thought he'd get.
And he sold his company, and he had nothing to do. He ended up getting a divorce, found a new wife. Could you say a trophy wife? I guess we can say a trophy wife. It didn't work out too well, but it doesn't and that doesn't work out too well, I must tell you.
A lot of trophy wives, doesn't work out. But it made him happy for a little while at least. But he found a new wife. He sold his little boat. He got a big yacht.
He had one of the biggest yachts anywhere in the world. He moved for a time to Monte Carlo and he led the good life. And time went by and he got bored. And fifteen years later, the company that he sold to called him, and they said, the housing business is not for us. You have to understand, when Bill Levitt was hot, when he had momentum, he'd go to the job sites every night, he'd pick up every loose nail, he'd pick up every scrap of wood.
If there was a bolt or a screw laying on the ground, he'd pick it up and he'd use it the next day in putting together a house. But now he was spoiled, and he was rich. He was really rich. And they called and they said, this isn't for us, this business. We do other things.
Would you like to buy it back? We'll sell it back to you cheap. And they did. He bought it. He bought it.
He thought he made a great deal, and he was all excited. But it was fifteen years later, he lost a lot of momentum. Remember the word momentum. And he lost everything. It just didn't work.
He lost everything. And I was sitting at a party on Fifth Avenue 1 night, long time ago, and yet the biggest people in New York, the biggest people in the country, all in that party, and they were all saluting each other how great they were. They were all telling each other, I'm greater than you. It's be really gives you a headache sometimes. But they had all these people that are telling their own stories about how fantastic.
A cocktail party and I looked over and I was doing well. I was I don't know. I was invited to the party, so I had to be doing well. I was very, very young. But I made a name in real estate and I looked over and at the party, sitting in a corner all by himself, nobody was talking to him was mister Levitt.
He had just gone bankrupt, lost everything. He lost everything. His home, everything. And I went over and talked to him because he was in the real estate business and I loved real estate. And I said, hello, Levitt.
How are you? He said, hello, Donald. It's nice to meet you. He knew me from being in the business. I said, so how's it going?
He goes, not well. It's really not going well, as you've probably read. Been very, very tough period for me, son. And I said, so what happened? It's just anything you can do?
He goes, no. There's not a thing I can do. He said, I'll never forget. He said, I've lost my momentum. I just didn't have it.
I used to have it, but I lost my momentum. So it's a story I tell, and you have to know when you have the momentum, but sometimes you have to also know when you've lost the momentum. And leaving a field sometimes, leaving what you're doing sometimes is okay. But you gotta have momentum, but you have to know if that momentum is gone. You have to know when to say it's time to get out.
And it's a very sad story. I remember that story so well like it was yesterday. Fifth, you have to have the courage to take risks and to do things differently. Eisenhower again was threatened with court marshals as a young officer for advocating a new doctrine of tank warfare. Billy Mitchell was thrown out of the army for pioneering the use of air power.
They said, what do you mean air power? Don't be ridiculous. People willing to try and do things differently. It's never gonna be easy for them, but they're the ones that are gonna really do the important things. They're the ones who are gonna make history.
So don't be ashamed and don't be afraid. This is a time of incredible change, and we do not need an officer corps of Carreras and Yes Men and people that wanna keep it going the way it's been because it changes rapidly, especially what you're doing. Because believe it or not, you're in a a business and profession where things change as rapidly like warfare, the type of warfare. Unfortunately, we're getting to see it with Russia and Ukraine. And we're studying it, and it's a very terrible thing to study.
But we're seeing the different forms of warfare. We're seeing the drones that are coming down at angles and with speed and with with precision. We've never seen anything like it. I've never seen anything like it, and we're learning from it. But your profession changes very rapidly.
You've gotta keep you've gotta be at the top of it. You've gotta be right at the at the head of the needle. We need patriots with guts and vision and backbone who take personal risks to ensure that America wins every single time. We wanna win our battles. You know, I defeated ISIS in three weeks.
They told me it would take five years, and the general that did it, you know that story, was named Raisin Cain. His name is Dan Cain, but his nickname was Raisin Cain. I said, your name is Raisin Cain. I love that. Is that a nickname?
That's what they call me, sir. I love you, general. I think it's a guy I'm looking for. I wanna know a guy named Raisin Kane, he is now the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and he's a highly respected man. And we defeated think of it, ISIS, they said they said, how long in Washington?
Sir, it will take four years to defeat them, maybe five, and maybe we won't because they're all over the place. And then I met a man that said we can do it in three weeks, and he did it. Three weeks. And that's why he's the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff right now. And we did things that nobody thought were possible.
We've had great military success. When you have the right leader and you have the right people, and we have the right people, you're gonna have tremendous success success. Sixth, never lose your faith in America and the American people because they're always gonna be there for you. I went through a very tough time with some very radicalized sick people, and I say I was investigated more than the great late Alphonse Capone. Alphonse Capone was a monster.
He was a very hardened criminal. I went through more investigations than Alfonse Capone, and now I'm talking to you as president. Can you believe this? Can you believe it? So you gotta fight hard, you gotta never give up, and don't let bad people take you down.
And let them you gotta take them down. A lot of bad people out there, and those people you have to figure it out. But you also have a lot of great people. Finally, hold on to your culture and your traditions because that's what makes something really great, and that's what's made the army great, the culture and the tradition. Whether we're talking about a battalion, a business, a sports team, or even a nation, history has shown that in many ways, culture is destiny.
So do not let anyone destroy the culture of winning. You have to win. Winning is a beautiful thing. Losing, not for us. Not for us.
Not for anybody here. If it was, you wouldn't be here. From the earliest days of our nation, this supreme tradition of American military service has been passed down from soldier to soldier and generation to generation, and it's a beautiful thing to watch. Graduating today is cadet Ricky McMahon. Ricky's great grandfather stand up wherever you are, Ricky, because you're gonna like this.
Ricky's great grandfather served in World War one. His grandfather served in World War two. And his uncle, father, and mother all graduated from West Point. Where is Ricky? In twenty o four, when Ricky was just a little, little tiny boy, who would think about that Ricky, a little tiny boy?
His dad, Lieutenant Colonel Michael McMahon, made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation in Afghanistan. Today, Lieutenant Colonel McMahon rests not far from here in the West Point Cemetery. Last year, two decades after losing his father, Ricky placed a gold chip from his dad's 1985 class ring into a crucible along 87 other rings were with it. A past West Point grads that were melted down to forge those now worn by the class of twenty twenty five. Do you all know that?
Do you know that? What you're wearing? I want one. Ricky, I want one. Each of you will carry Michael's memory with you always as you continue the legacy he gave you.
It gave you something that would be so proud. He would be so proud. He is proud. She looks down. Ricky and his mom, Jeanette, you embody what this place is all about.
And I know Michael. He's up there. He's smiling broadly. So proud. He's so proud of you today.
You know that. And he's a man that couldn't be and he is a man that couldn't be more proud. And I wanna just I just love that story. And everybody's ring, they're gonna remember you, they're gonna remember your family, and most importantly, you're gonna remember a great tradition. It's a great tradition of West Point and of winners.
Thank you very much. It's great to meet you. Thank you. You can sit down. You wanna come up?
If you wanna come up, come up. Come on up. Come on up here. That's nice. You're a handsome guy.
They're all good looking here. I don't know what's going on. The whole crowd is beautiful. Thank you very much. I'd like to thank my mother.
I'd like to thank my family. And I'd like to thank g three. Go Gophers. These are good looking people, I'll tell you, you know, what's going on over here? Look like all a bunch of male models.
I can't stand it. For two and a half centuries, our republic has endured because of heroes like Michael. Who've laid down their lives for America, and because young people like all of you have picked up the banner of service and carried forward the flag of freedom from Lexington to Yorktown, from Gettysburg to Sicily, and from Inchon to Fallujah, America has been won and saved by an unbroken chain of soldiers and patriots who ran to the sound of the guns, leapt into the maw of battle, and charged into the crucible of fire to seize the crown of victory no matter the odds, no matter the cost, no matter the danger. All over the world, our soldiers have made sacred the ground where they shed their blood and showed their valor. From Seminary Ridge to San Juan Hill, Bellowood, Omaha Beach, Leyte Gulf, and Ardenton Forest, Chosin Reservoir all over, and even a place called Pork Chop Hill.
And in all of those battles, and so many more, some of the best, brightest, and bravest have come from right here at the US Military Academy at West Point, One of the great fabled places anywhere in the world. America's Army has never failed us, and with leaders like the West Point class of 2025, the army will never fail. We will never let you down. And over the last week, I had the honor of speaking to the heads of many countries, and they would say, two weeks ago, they say the eighth. They said, sir, we're celebrating the victory today of World War two.
And I said, wow, that's nice. Then I'd call another one, unrelated, sir, we're celebrating the victory of World War two. And I called up president of France on something also unrelated. He said, sir, we're celebrating our victory over World War two. I said, woah, woah, what have we here?
We helped them a lot. And I I had this, Russia talked to Putin about ending that terrible war that's going on, and he said they're having a big victory march, and they did lose, in all fairness, 51,000,000 people. But they were all celebrating. The only country that wasn't celebrating was The United States Of America. And I said, isn't it amazing?
We were the ones that won the war, and we were helped. We were helped. In some cases, we had to help them. But we were helped by some of the nations, and we were strongly helped by a couple of them. But every one of them was celebrated.
They had victory day. They called it victory day in Europe, Victory Day all over. And we weren't even thought about. Nobody had a victory day, and so I named that special day and another special day from now on as a holiday, but a holiday where we work. Because we don't have enough days, we're gonna be having so many holidays, we're not gonna be able to work anymore.
But I named it for World War two and a separate day in November, as you know, for World War one. I said, you know, all of these countries that participated in the war are celebrating, but the greatest country of them all and the country that won the war, nobody even talked about. And so we're gonna be talking about it too from now on, and I think you'll appreciate it. We won the First World War. We won the Second World War.
And you know where we won them from? Right here at West Point. West Point won the war. We won two world wars and plenty of other things. But you will think of it.
We don't wanna have a Third World War. But we won the first world war. We won the second world war right here from West Point, and that's something. And we're gonna be talking about it. You know, they can talk about it.
And in some cases, as you know, they didn't do too much to help. They were they were ground down, but they were celebrating victory. No. We're gonna celebrate victory because we're the ones that won that war. Standing before you today, I know that you will never stop, you will never quit, you will never yield, you will never tire, you will never ever ever surrender, never give up.
Remember that, never give up. It's another little factor I could have added. Never ever give up. Raise your right hand. I pledge I will never ever give up.
You can never give up. You can never give up. If you do, you're not gonna be successful because you'll go through things that will be bad. You're gonna have great moments. You're gonna have bad moments.
You can never give up. Through every challenge and every battle, you'll stand strong. You'll work hard. You'll stay tough. And you will fight, fight, fight, and win, win, win.
So I wanna just congratulate you all. I'm going back now to deal with Russia, to deal with China. What's that what's that all about? That's a niche. And to get you lots of victories.
We're gonna keep winning. This country is gonna keep winning. And with you, the job is easy. I wanna thank you all. Congratulations to the class of 2025.
God bless you all. Incredible people. Thank you very much, everybody.
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, please remain standing for the presentation of the class gift. The class president, cadet Catherine Larue, will present a panoramic photo of the class of 2025 to the president.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The media often labels us as part of the Fed to dismiss our ideas without engaging with them. Many conservatives fear being labeled as racist, which is why they use such terms against us. I don’t believe in the term racism; it lacks a solid definition. I advocate for strong immigration restrictions that serve a nation’s interests, as citizenship is a privilege granted by a country.
We view the American people as an ethnic group descended from European settlers and promote cultural vitality, especially among young men. Our efforts include community-building and activism. The American identity is rooted in Anglo-Saxon culture, with other European groups assimilating into this core identity over time.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Have you heard the word I've been labeled?
Speaker 1: Why do you think the media constantly says that you guys are part of the Fed or
Speaker 0: even the whole community? The conservative movement say that you guys are part of the Fed. The liberal media are very happy to say that we're real because they think we're racist, which is, of course, is meaningless buzzword. So conservatives are very happy to call us feds because it's an argument of convenience, because it's an easy way to dismiss our ideas. If we're not real, if we're not genuine, then they don't have to then they don't have to engage with what we believe.
Because a lot of conservatives are really scared more than anything of being called a racist or a white supremacist or a xenophobe or etcetera, etcetera. Do
Speaker 1: you possess any racist traits?
Speaker 0: I don't believe in the word racism. I think it's a meaningless buzzword. Do I have traditional views on race nationality in accordance with the founding fathers believed in centuries of American statesmen, since then? Absolutely. Is that racism?
I don't know. Racism doesn't have a solid definition. Do you think it's discrimination? What is discrimination?
Speaker 1: Was it a a good good good thing. Right? So for example, if you are going to say that you as a white individual won't allow certain groups in the United States, I'll say that that is discriminating against this
Speaker 0: I believe any sane country should have strong restrictions on immigration that are meant to serve the best interest of that country. I believe race and nationality, culture are real things that influence how human populations act. To deny that would be ridiculous and utopian beyond any conception of reality. And denying people from entering your country is they do not have a right to be here. You know, note the world does not have a right to to be an American.
The rights are conveyed by citizens through the constitution, and citizenship is itself a gift of being of a member of a nation. If you open up citizenship to the world, your form of government will be totally incompatible with it. And And a if you're saying that you have to let everybody in your country whenever they want to be or else you're discriminatory, I feel like that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: What would you say are the core tenants of the pagan settlers?
Speaker 0: We believe in a conception of the American people as a real ethnic group, descendants of the European pioneer settlers, things like that. So we have that conception of who we are and serving our interests. Outside of that, we engage in positive fitness efforts to make sure that we are reinstilling, matters of fitness and vitality, masculine culture, into the men of our nation, finding its most valuable constituency in young American men. We believe in community, so we restore spaces where patriotic families can gather, where we can establish a cultural restitution of our traditions as a nation. Outside of that, of course, we do activism and we push forward.
There's a lot of things we do. It's all on the website. People put a Patriot front down in the website.
Speaker 1: With the with the descendants of of the
Speaker 0: Europeans Yeah. That's us.
Speaker 1: Would that include people like Spanish or
Speaker 0: other Spain is a country in Europe, actually. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So the Patriot Front is is is an alliance with that being
Speaker 0: Alliance with Spain?
Speaker 1: Not an alliance
Speaker 0: with that.
Speaker 1: Asking. In agreement with that being a form of descendants that you would, I guess, include in your group.
Speaker 0: So the American nation is composed of Europeans. Right? And originally, the culture of the American nation is heavily Anglo Saxon because the largest group that came to America were British, Scottish, Irish, some Huguenot French, but they all assimilated into a very poor ethnic identity, between the 16 to 17 and then ultimately the 1800. Other European nationalities, whether they be from Eastern, Western, Northern, or Southern Europe, were then able to effectively assimilate into that core nationality, that core identity, which was started foundationally by Anglo Saxons in the pre revolutionary and post revolutionary period. I'm just giving you a history lesson.
